I created the F.A.P. Method on October 1, 2007, to help a friend of mine who was struggling with her weight and self-esteem. A fetal form of this project started when I was in middle school, struggling with self-esteem issues myself. I discovered the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, by Sean Covey. It was a great read and truly inspired me. I benefited greatly from reading the short essays in this book about people just like me struggling with self-esteem issues, and redecorated my room into an environment that was more conducive to positive thinking and embraced my creative outlets. I am now a confident, organized, motivated person, and I will forever bless the day I discovered that book. Actually, I have to thank my brother, for he bought the book's supplement, Daily Reflections for Highly Effective Teens, for me, and upon finishing reading it, I bought the book itself. It is now tucked into my library, well-worn, and well-read. I had an extremely positive experience renewing my lifestyle--I hope that you will too.
